My computer and scanner hate each other

Technology upgrades are ALWAYS such a mixed blessing. Mr. Sea got me a brand-new laptop for Christmas. I love the thing, but it won't talk to my scanner! I'm still working out the kinks, though, and hopefully I'll have everything up and running properly after this weekend. Once I do, I'm going to spend some time here exploring Hal Jordan's days as the SPECTRE. I admit, the one thing I'm most looking forward to seeing in upcoming Green Lantern: Blackest Night events is Hal's showdown with the Spectre. Given Hal's history with the Spectre, it should be VERY interesting.On another note: It's STILL COLD, and getting COLDER, and there's about seven inches of snow on my driveway right now. Goody, goody!

I would kill for some nice, soft, plowable snow.Here in southampton nobody bothered to plow the pavements and street when they were covered in snow so now everything is like a damnable ice-rink. Not nice when you have to race downhill to get to classes...

My new computer wants nothing to do with my old scanner. The solution cost me a couple bucks (not all that much really). There's software you can get that can run pretty much any scanner on any computer.
